Each batch of our multivitamins is tested for identity, purity, strength, and composition so we can be sure that what’s on the label is what’s in the capsules. We also complete third-party testing to help ensure our products are compliant with regulations and guidelines for heavy metals, microbes, and major allergens and to help assure the quality and safety of our products. Essential Postnatal has been independently certified for quality and purity. It is Non-GMO Project Verified.
The bottle for Essential Postnatal is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and is made of #1 PET plastic, which is highly recyclable curbside. The caps on our multivitamin bottles are #5 and are made of polypropylene.
Additionally, your first month is shipped in a recyclable box, and recurring orders are shipped in mailers made from 100% recycled content (the paper used to make our mailers is 100% garbage-repurposed newsprint and plant fibers). Any collateral included is also made of 100% recycled materials.
Supporting new nutrient demands on a mother for 6 months postpartum and throughout lactation is what’s important. While many people feel a difference, some don’t, and that’s okay. It’s what’s happening inside that counts. Calcium-helper nutrients D3, K2, Magnesium, and Boron help support bone health, while Iron, Folate, and vitamin B12 contribute to red blood cell formation. Vitamins A, C & D help contribute to normal immune function, and Biotin, Iodine, and zinc support metabolic demand.*
